Lyric Blaze s blues

by Townes Van Zandt

I gotta guitar all my own
I gotta quarter for the telephone
I ain t headed down this highway all alone
One two three and maybe four
Honey, they re knockin on my door
I know you re gonna miss me when I m gone


Got no daddy but I got a ma
think she lives in Arkansas
maybe I ll go see her some old day
It ain t like she d really care
it ain t like she d pay no fare
but I might just blow on through there anyway


Headed down to Alabam
cause some trouble if I can
Aw, buddy, would you like to come along?
It s a place I never been
and you know I could use a friend
they say they ll give us twenty bucks a song


I gotta guitar all my own
I gotta quarter for the telephone
I ain t headed down this highway all alone
One two three and maybe four
Honey, they re knockin on my door
you know I m gonna miss you when I m gone
